The next day, Clark and Sophie sit together on the other side of the barn. She sits in Clark's arms and they look out over the field. Clark kisses her neck softly and she leans her head on his shoulder.
"There is no place I'd rather be right now." She tells him with a smile.
"I could think of a better place. Expensive hotel room… all alone…" He whispers.
"Oh shut up." She says, pushing him.
"I'm just as happy doing this." Clark tells her and kisses her lips.
"Clark!" He hears his dad calling. Him and Sophie get up and walk around to the other side of the barn.
"Yeah dad?" Clark asks, walking towards them. His mom and dad are walking to the truck.
"The hospital just called. They said Chloe just came in with multiple broken bones. Apparently, she is asking for us." Jonathon tells Clark.
"What happened?" Clark asks concerned.
"They didn't say. You taking your car?" He asks.
"Yeah." Clark says and runs over to his car. Sophie follows and gets in.
"I hope she's ok." Sophie says.
"Yeah, me too. I want to know what happened." Clark says and takes off.
-------------------------------------
Clark walks up to the front desk at the hospital with Sophie and his parents close behind.
"I'm Clark Kent, could you tell me what room Chloe Sullivan is in?" He asks the lady behind the desk.
"Um, I'm sorry but there isn't a Chloe Sullivan here." She tells him and Clark looks confused.
"Wait a minute, the hospital just called me saying she just came in." Jonathon tells her.
"There must have been a mistake." She says with an apologetic face.
"What kind of sick person would do this?" Jonathon asks.
"I don't know, but I think it's more than just a prank." Clark says.
"We better get back to the farm." Jonathon says and they head for the doors.
--------------------------------------
Little do they know that a white van waited for them to leave the farm. Once they were gone, the van pulled up the drive and stopped in front of the barn. Two guys and a woman get out, followed by John Fareless. One guy and the girl carry a black and silver briefcase.
"Ok, I want a microphone in every corner of this place. Keep them well hidden, they can not find out. Hurry, we don't have much time." He tells them and each one hurries off in a different direction. John leans back on the van and smiles. One of the men goes up to Clark's loft and finds his stereo. He pulls open one of the speakers and inserts a small device. Inside the house, the woman pulls open the battery on the phone and puts one in there. Soon, they all hurry back to the van. "Is it all set?" John asks.
"Yeah, we'll be able to hear everything." The man says.
"Good. Let's get out of here." John says and they pile into the van.
-----------------------------------
Clark and Jonathon pull back into the drive to the farm and stop in front of the house. Everything looks fine.
"Well, everything looks alright." Jonathon says, looking around.
"I don't know, I'll check the barn." Clark says heads into the barn with Sophie.
"Ok and we'll check the house." Jonathon says and walks toward the house with Martha. Soon they meet back up in the driveway, not finding anything. "I guess we have nothing to worry about." Jonathon smiles.
"Yeah, must have been just a mistake." Clark agrees. "Come on, Sophie. Let's go up to the loft." He says and leads her back into the barn. Clark turns around to talk to Sophie once they get up there, and she throws herself at him, kissing him. She takes Clark by surprise and is able to push him down on to his couch. They both get lost in the moment and go at each other. Sophie runs her hands under his shirt and up his chest and Clark's hands are busy pulling her shirt off and undoing her bra. His lips move down to her neck and she helps Clark with her bra. They both jump when someone clears their throat.
"Dad!" Clark shouts, surprised. Sophie's face turns red and she folds her arms in front of her chest.
"I… gotta go." She says embarrassed and runs out.
"Clark! What were you doing?" Jonathon asks.
"We were… we were…" Clark stutters, not knowing what to say.
"It was obvious what you two were doing! Clark, what is going on with you?" He asks.
"Nothing! Just for once in my life, I'm in a relationship with someone I really care about." Clark tells him.
"That's fine, but your 17, Clark! You don't need to be doing that yet." Jonathon tells Clark.
"Don't tell me what I need!" Clark shouts, getting up off the couch. "We're almost adults and we know what we're doing!"
"Almost! Your still my son and I know what's best for you." Jonathon tells him.
"I am the only one that decides what's best for me. And our love life is none of your business." Clark says and superspeeds out of the barn.
"Clark! Come back!" Jonathon calls through the loft window. Clark stops at his track and sits down on one of the benches he made. He's tempted to take Sophie and run off to where no one can find them. But running away is not the answer.
---------------------------------------
Back in the house, Jonathon and Martha talk at the kitchen table.
"I really don't know what's going on with him. Ever since Sophie came here, he's been getting further and further away." He tells his wife.
"It's not her. Clark is a teenager, this stuff is going to happen." Martha tells him.
"I know, Martha. Just what are we going to do?" Jonathon asks her.
"There isn't anything we can do. We have taught Clark everything we can. We just have to hope he will make the right decisions." Martha says to Jonathon.
